3 monthsLoads of different numbers from Energy keep ringing me, really need to block each one now!Energy3 monthsHad a call from someone called Gabby claiming to be a local energy advisor, but I doubt Orkney is exactly near Somerset! I just stayed quiet so they'd waste their own time.GabbyOrkneySomerset3 monthsGot a call from this number on my landline today. I don’t usually answer calls from numbers I don’t know, but I always check them out on here now. Heard on BBC that AI can copy your voice, so we need to be cautious and tell those who might be more at risk. My brother answers pretending to be Mr Bean and as you said, AI doesn’t really get nonsense!BBCBean3 monthsI was about to answer when this Gabby person asked if I was the homeowner, but I quickly hung up instead. Then I found this site and saw a comment about them mimicking your voice. Whoever mentioned that, cheers for the heads-up!3 monthsThe caller popped up as an Orkney number. They tried to pitch some kind of whisky investment deal to me. I reckon it was probably an AI bot, because once I started giving them long, drawn out replies - not just simple yes or no answers - they totally lost track.3 monthsThis time, it wasn’t Gabby, the Home Energy Advisor I've spoken to before. Instead, a bloke from a busy call centre called me by my name. He said he wasn’t trying to sell anything but had a quick survey with four questions: First, do I watch football? Then if I own my house, and how old I was, picking between 30s, 40s or 50s. After that, he tried confirming he had the right person by repeating my name and saying my postcode - only his version was complete nonsense, nothing like my actual one. He asked me to provide my correct postcode, and that’s when I just ended the call.GabbyHome Energy4 monthsEven though I’m registered with the TPS, I still get crap calls - total scam, really annoying.TPS4 monthsGot a dodgy call about energy bills the other day, they want you to answer "YES" to loads of questions. One of the things they ask is if you own the house - best not to say yes, even if you do! Just keep your replies short, like a simple "NO". They’re fishing for a "YES" so they can record your voice and use it to open fake accounts or loans linked to your place. Stay sharp and don’t give in!4 monthsToday, 23/3/26, around 08:22, I got a call on my home phone from 01856898507. I didn’t pick up since I had no idea who it was. They didn’t leave any voicemail, so I’m guessing it was just some kind of scam or unwanted call. I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number and made a report about it.4 monthsI got a call from 01 856 898 507 while at home in Exeter, Devon. When I picked up, the line just went dead - pretty much what you’d expect from one of those annoying nuisance calls.ExeterDevon4 monthsI get calls from some energy advisors like two or three times daily, it’s getting really annoying.4 monthsGot a call from an unknown number and when I picked up, there was nothing but silence for like 15 seconds. No one said a word. Feels like one of those automated spam calls, probably part of some mass dialling.4 monthsGot a call from Scotland all the way down here on the South Coast - total joke, probably some sort of con!ScotlandSouth Coast5 monthsGot a call from some bloke saying he could sort tax-free investments. Didn’t hang about, just cut the call straight away.5 monthsI let it ring through, didn’t pick up, and the phone marked it as spam luckily.5 monthsThis number called me twice in less than a week, the caller claimed to be Gabby from my home energy provider. She asked if she was speaking to the person named on the account. Both times I just ended the call straight away. I’ve gone ahead and blocked the number now. Feels a bit dodgy if you ask me.Gabby5 monthsDidn’t pick up, didn’t recognise the number. Probably just some telemarketer or a scam call.5 monthsDidn’t pick up an unfamiliar number, nothing was left on my voicemail.. definitely a scam call..5 monthsGot a call from some so-called energy advisor, but it definitely felt dodgy and I'm sure they aren’t following TPS rules at all.5 monthsGot a call about home energy stuff, seems dodgy to me like a scam.5 monthsGot a call from a number I didn’t recognise, but they didn’t leave any message when I tried ringing back.5 monthsThis number just rang me and my phone warned me it could be a scam. Had a quick look here and sure enough, it's known for scams. Can you believe that's the second dodgy call I've had today? And I'm on the TPS list too!TPS5 monthsI just received some automated voice thanking me for finishing a survey and then the call ended right after.5 monthsGot a call from someone saying she’s Sarah at Capital Invest, promising this amazing deal with a 20% return every year, all tax free. Sounded way too good to be true.SarahCapital Invest6 monthsBeen getting loads of calls from this number even tho I’m on the no call list. It’s really annoying and I thought that was meant to be banned!6 monthsI just got a call from someone named Gaby saying I’m the homeowner. I told her I’ve had loads of calls from her before, so she needs to take my number off her list, like, immediately! She apologised and I can actually tell it’s her voice now. It’s the same old story about home energy stuff, nothing new.Gaby6 monthslooks like they’re using a number from the Orkney exchange nowOrkney6 monthsGot another call today, some dodgy energy company trying to scam me again.6 monthsOh wow, it's Gabby the energy advisor giving me a buzz once more, but this time from a totally different number!Gabby6 monthsGot a call from some energy firm asking for the homeowner, saying “Gobby” or sumthin. I told them to keep ringing but it’s a council flat, not mine, and they had the wrong number anyway. Then I just ended the call, proper annoying. Was hoping by 2026 all these scam calls would be wiped out, but nah, still the same rubbish.6 monthsI just let the call roll to voicemail and there wasn’t even a message left. Seeing how loads of people have checked this number before me, I reckon it’s probably just another dodgy scam.6 monthsIs it just me, or does Gabby not trick anyone else either? Honestly, she’s so obvious!Gabby6 monthsThey called me, but I just ignored it and checked this site afterwards, so I just let it keep ringing.6 monthsI got a call just a little while ago but it didn’t ring for long, so I didn’t pick up. The number wasn’t saved anywhere in my phone and it looked totally unfamiliar to me.Submit Your Own Report (01856 898507)
